Re: [j-nsp] Study books.
Besides brushing up via PDFs, techpubs, and printed books, I'd encourage anyone making purchases to ensure that their account team is including Juniper training credits in the deal at no charge. Compared to the cost of most Juniper gear, training credits are c-h-e-a-p, and the quality of the training is outstanding in my experience. It's in your rep's best interest to include it, since it'll get you trained up on their gear quickly and make it more likely that you'll purchase more. Maybe everyone is already doing this, but if not, give it a think.

Re: [j-nsp] Study books.
http://www.onfulfillment.com/JuniperTrainingPublic/Category.aspx?d=44&sid=323&sm=d44 There is this too, the official courseware. You can order the courseware without the course. It can be expensive. If you have an SE or RE that can log into this, they can get the books much cheaper... you might be able to work something out with them.

agreed, Aviva Garrett's book is essential reading,.

[j-nsp] Study books.
Hi. We just purchased an MX480 to replace our aging 7206vxr-G1. We spent a few months going back and forth, C or J. In the end J worked harder for our business and ended up with a redundant MX480. Our only experience was with an M10i five years ago so we are green. My coworker and I need some new books. Looking at Amazon, most of the books are at least five years old. Are any of them still relevant enough to warrant purchasing them? Anyone have books they want to recommend?
